A conversational implicature is an inference that consists of attributing to a speaker an
implicit meaning that goes beyond the explicit linguistic meaning of an utterance. This paper …

In this paper, we consider a generic model of computational grids, seen as several clusters
of homogeneous processors. In such systems, a key issue when designing efficient job …

Abstract dynamic load-balancing on hierarchical platforms. In particular, we consider
applications involving heavy communications on a distributed platform. The work-stealing …

The aim of GRID superscalar is to reduce the development complexity of Grid applications to
the minimum, in such a way that writing an application for a computational Grid may be as …

In this paper we present EDAS, an environment for decentralized, adaptive services. This
environment offers flexible service models based on distributed mobile objects ranging from …

Javelin 3 is a software system for develo** large-scale, fault tolerant, adaptively parallel
applications. When all or part of their application can be cast as a master-worker or branch …

Mobility is an increasingly important part of today's computing landscape. There is currently
an incredible growth in the deployment of" SmartPhone" devices, mobile computers with a …

In multicluster systems, and more generally in grids, jobs may require co‐allocation, that is,
the simultaneous or coordinated access of single applications to resources of possibly …

The MPJ programming interface has been defined by the Java Grande forum to provide MPI-
like message passing for Java applications. In this paper, we present MPJ/Ibis, the first …

Grid programming environments need to be both portable and efficient to exploit the
computational power of dynamically available resources. In previous work, we have …
